This piece of garbage needs to be double tapped.

A group of Democratic National Convention protesters have been gathering to block major arteries in downtown Denver, moving each time as police demand they disperse.
First the marchers blocked traffic at the intersection of Broadway and Colfax Avenue and briefly refused to move.
The protesters, chanting, "no more presidents, no more wars," disrupted traffic along both streets as police tried to move them into either Civic Center or Lincoln Park.
After 10 minutes or so, police gave an order to disperse, and the group barely moved.
Several officers on horseback arrived and began moving the crowd out of the street.
"Double wide!," one officer ordered, and police lined up to move protesters.
Just as it appeared they would disperse peacefully, a small group of about eight protesters ran into traffic on Lincoln Street and sat in the street. They chanted "our streets!" in front of Capitol.

Mounted cops frequently protect FReepers from the greasy pacifist hordes. It is a comforting feeling
What a waste. Work ‘em to death in the Alaskan oil fields.
The Recreate 68 gang must be astonished at how few protesters actually showed up. Today, you could walk through Civic Center Park, where the protesters were supposed to gather, without any problems at all. If there were more than a couple hundred protesters around the downtown area today, I didn’t see them. I only saw a couple of groups of maybe 10-50 people. One of the protesters blamed the preparations of the Denver police for keeping the numbers so small.
The city opened some streets they had closed to give the protesters room to march. So far, the protests have been a big bust.
I think I’ve seen this movie before. Wasn’t it called PCU?
Protesting for the sake of protesting. Taking off time from their lives or whater lives they do or don’t carry to organize and smoke free pot. That’s why they’re in Denver.
All of these protestors in Denver are a product of failing in school due to lack of preparation in life and too many drugs including acid trips.
Oh no. Another group is trying to appropriate a color?
...”this penis party’s gotta go, hey, hey, ho, ho...this penis party’s.... :)
What was the comment?
I can’t make it out.
I saw maybe 100 go down the 16th Street Mall around noon. Weren't they claiming 50,000 would come?
Bunch of damn insecure control freaks.
Just saw some punks on O’Reilly protesting in Denver, yelling F**k America. Those snot nosed punks would be immediate organ donors if they did that kind of stuff in China, Korea, Russia, etc.
No way. He’s working for us now.
“That smelled really bad!”
These people are revolutionary communists, but certainly would and do cry like babies when seriously confronted. They know the cops have to hold back.
That was pretty hysterical. Thanks for the laugh.
As a retired playwright I think it might be fortuitous for me to engage a lyricist and produce Our Streets...The Musical!!!
As a sensory experience, this is to ‘68 what a video game is to a real battle. The visuals are there, but where is the tang of teargas, the satisfying thwack of batons on hippy skulls, the panicked mouse-squeak of trapped media? The only smell here is from poor personal hygiene, not the same as the loose bowels of fleeing commies.
I guess they don’t want an authentic recreation after all.
